Goodbye Wordpress, hi rstblog!

Since having switched from the PHP world to the Python world about 2 years ago, I thought about
relaunching my Blog using Python instead of PHP. At first, I thought about creating an application
with Django and PostgreSQL, but never really had the time and motivation to finally implement it.
But today I stumbled over rstblog by Armin Ronacher.

Meet rstblog

It is basically a static reStructuredText to HTML converter. You create a
year/month/day folder structure, create .rst files in there, add metadata
to them in YAML format and run the generator-script.

Because it's static, you don't need any dynamic webserver or interpreter, it's just plain HTML files
that you can serve practically everywhere. You can even track them using a source control system.
And last but not least – you'll never have to update your Wordpress installation again, yay!

There's even more to like. If you want to know more, take a look at the
repository and the sourcecode. That's
also one of the downsides – there's no official documentation and the project
seems pretty inactive, pull requests aren't being merged.
